why lua is needed?

[dani619]

why does lua file needed? i think it is possible to make xeno bot not using lua file (or it will make one and use it when loaded) that there will be options as depositer,refill,banker that will be build in the xeno bot and it will be on the xbst file so ppl will be able to make them self scripts( 99% of the ppl dont know)
it will be easier to ppl make scripts even if it basic ones.

Basic ones you can do 100% inside the client but for more advanced scripts you will need the lua file.
That's how it is right now anyway, we'll see what happens in the future.

My Thais Trolls script is an example of not using a lua file.

yea but take for example tibia auto, its just so easy to use, to make full afk, and got alot of things that you can edit that is not possible at xeno bot unless you making it by your self

But they have been working on tibiaauto since 2005, remember that.
If DarkstaR were to add every useless thing to the bot instead of making it possible to script it, people would still complain about no customizing. Scripts make it possible to customize it the way you want it.
It would also take longer for new features since he would have to make the gui for it and such.
It is his bot, he does whatever he wants with it.

Adding a Persistent Scripts thingy inside the xbst that holds all the lua functions would be great to have, it wouldn't be as fun to script inside the client though.

"Scripts make it possible to customize it the way you want it."

i never said it should be insted, just saying that it would be great that every one will be able to make some scripts for them self.

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to? native lib has enough functions right now to make it on your own.
You can even reopen backpacks now without any custom functions.

no idea how to make depositer/banker/seller.
is there any officle guide?

[Infernal Bolt]

The way I learned was looking at scripts made by other people.
You could start by doing that, there is also some tutorials you could read.
No official one though.
